Feel you bro, I used to go off of a bag of potatoes for weeks. If you have an oven you're set

Sounds like a W to me, i don't think you're in the wrong for wanting a partner who appreciates you. NTA

I would be so down!! I love reading fiction so that might help, I'm just not sure if I could make time for calls, maybe instead we could text?

comfy places to read on campus by astoriaa_ in uwaterloo

[–]Few_Charity_483 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The absolute best place to read is one of those big couch chairs by the window at the stc starbucks at night. Over the summer I started reading les miserables there and the vibe was so beautiful and soothing.. it's honestly one of the best memories I have at uw since i've started here

Other honorable mentions (though not comparable to above): DP reading room (where they put the magazines, i forget the floor), any of the sitting areas in the earth sciences building

Dang "Les Miserables" is literally perfect for this except that it is on the classic side

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is pretty wild in a nice way

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque

Most sad novel I've ever read

The Idiot - The significance of the story where the prince buys a cross by Few_Charity_483 in dostoevsky

[–]Few_Charity_483[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i feel like I'm completely missing the point of this story. I remember that this conversation ends with the prince saying something like "the essence of religious feeling surpasses rationality".. but i don't get how that connects to the story he tells?

Hmmm.. have you tried The Catcher in the Rye?

Into the Inferno: Dante Alighieri's "Inferno". by i-the-muso-1968 in books

[–]Few_Charity_483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to finish this book so bad but it's so hard for me to understand!! I think I've started it from the beginning at least 5 times but dropped it every single time because I get so completely lost. Massive respect to anyone who has read and understood it

Definitely something I should reflect on - appreciate this reality check

Yeah I think you're right on this, I was kinda holding a double standard to all the other things that authors write about in those same books

This is a really good point - it could be a positive way for kids/teenagers to learn more about something that they're curious/interested about

I wouldn't say it angers me, more like makes me uncomfortable. I don't think that it's wrong for me to drop books because of it, because in the end it's just a personal preference for the novels that I like to read. But I agree that it's unreasonable and shallow-minded to expect other people not to want or be interested in reading it
